NOTICES OF NORTH AMERICAN FTTNGI. ] 47 



694. Fusisporium miniatum. B.SfC. — Effusum miniatum ; sporis 

 brevioribus quadriuucleatis. 



On the wounded bark of Cornus florida. Car. Inf. No. 6389. 

 On pine wood recently felled. Alabama, Peters. No. 63-40. 

 Differs from the last in its much brigliter colour. The spores are 

 the same. 



* Fusisporium Solani. Mart. — On putrid potatoes. Pennsyl- 

 vania, Michener. No. 4323. 



Spores -002-0013 long. 



695. Fusisporium Fezizoideum. B. Sf C. — Sparsum minutum ; 

 sporis 3-5 septatis ad commissuras incrassatis. 



On stems of herbaceous plants. Pennsylvania, Michener. 



Scattered, minute, dirty white ; spores with from three to four 

 septa, which project all round at the commissures, -OOl-'OOi long. 

 Closely resembling Fasidium torulosum ; the spores are similar, but 

 with fewer septa. 



696. Fusisporium ossicola. B. ^ C. — Pallida aurantiacum ; 

 sporis apicalibus quadriseptatis ; articulis ultimis quandoque cur- 

 vato-acuminatis uncinatis. 



Oil old decaying bones. Car. Inf. No. 3200. 



Forming a pale orange stratum ; spores borne at the tips of 

 short forked threads with about four septa, the terminal articula- 

 tions often strongly acuminate and curved (uncinate). 



697. Fusisporium Berenice. B. Sr C. — Punctiforme albidum ; 

 sporis oblongis curvatis vel sigmoideis plurinucleatis erectis in 

 globulum congestis. 



On some decayed Peziza. Boston, Murray. No. 6232. 



Forming little dirty white specks ; spores linear oblong, curved 

 or sigmoid, containing several nuclei, erect, collected into a little 

 globe. This departs from tlie usual form of the spores, but as they 

 are doubtless septate when old, I hesitate constituting a new genus 

 from imperfect specimens. 



* Fusisporium Buxi. Fr. — On box leaves. Car. Inf. No. 

 1768. 



* Sepedonium chrysospermum. Lk. — On Boleti. Car. Inf. No.

 sporis globosis granulatis. 



On dead wood. Alabama, Peters. No. 6104. 

 Forming a continuous tan-coloured stratum ; spores globose, 

 studded with little papillse, "0004 in diameter. 



699. Psilonia cylindrospora. B. ^ C.— Punctiformis fulva ; 

 sporis oblongo-lineaius. 



On Tillandsia usnoidea. Car. Inf. No. 3018. 

 Forming little tawny tufts; spores oblong-linear, -0006 long, 

 surrounded by the inflexed obtuse hairs. Asterophora agaricicolu,
